Suma Beluga Lentils 500g

Dried Beluga Lentils

Suma Beluga Lentils are small, glossy black lentils named after Beluga caviar due to their distinctive appearance. Unlike some lentils that break down during cooking, Beluga lentils hold their shape well, making them a popular choice for salads, grain bowls, side dishes and hearty vegetable-based meals.

Their firm texture and rich, slightly nutty flavour make them a versatile ingredient that works across a wide range of cuisines. They pair particularly well with roasted vegetables, herbs, spices, feta cheese and punchy dressings. We enjoy using Beluga lentils in warm salads, Mediterranean-inspired dishes and as a base for colourful bowls packed with seasonal ingredients.

Quick to prepare and naturally satisfying, these lentils are a useful store-cupboard staple for anyone looking to add texture, flavour and substance to everyday meals.

Why are Beluga lentils popular in salads?

Beluga lentils retain their shape after cooking, giving salads a pleasant texture without becoming soft or mushy. Their dark colour also creates an attractive contrast with vegetables and herbs.

What do Beluga lentils taste like?

Beluga lentils have a richer, earthier flavour than many other lentil varieties, with subtle nutty notes that work particularly well alongside roasted vegetables and robust dressings.

Do Beluga lentils need soaking before cooking?

No. Like most lentils, Beluga lentils can be cooked directly without soaking, making them a convenient ingredient for midweek meals and batch cooking.
